Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion

Warm Bodies (Warm Bodies, #1)

by Isaac Marion

A zombie who yearns for a better life ends up falling in love with a human, in this original debut novel. R is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he has dreams. He doesn't enjoy killing people; he enjoys riding escalators and listening to Frank Sinatra. He is a little different from his fellow Dead. Not just another zombie novel, this is funny, scary, and deeply moving.

I tried reading a zombie novel before, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I could have sworn that I had a post for it but I guess I don’t. I did not really like it. I am not sure what it was. I heard about the upcoming movie to this book and decided to give it a try.I liked this book much better than The P AND P one.

Warm Bodies has a zombie named R. That’s all he can remember of his name. He lives in an abandoned airport with other zombies. One day he goes out to feed with a group and comes upon a group of humans still actually alive. He saves one girl from the group, Julie and brings her back with him to keep her safe. What follows is R and the rest of the zombies start getting in touch with their human side and they start to become less…..zombie like.

I had a few questions at the end of the book. Like what happened to make the zombies come to be. What happened to almost make the human civilization come apart? I heard this was a series so I hope we find out more background info in later books.

This was a fun fast read. I read it in one day. Perfect for those times you want something a tad serious with a little brain fluff.This review was originally posted on Adventures in Never Never Land
